Working turnkey with ODI assures that our clients have only one company managing their development and manufacturing. We keep the process confined and reliable so you can focus on product launch and sales objectives. ODI will gladly work on a milestone payment structure, to ensure that your project is delivered on your terms.

Product Validation

These are important and essential steps you have to take before you develop a product and look for potential investors. We can do this important step for you, saving you time and effort. And getting you to market faster...

Prototyping

We can provide you with a working prototype you'll need to show to investors or get you on kickstarter. We handle all aspects of prototype production so all you have to do is show it off and get your product funded. You need proof of concept and we can provide you with it. Once the prototype is complete, tested, and approved, your product is ready for the next step: production. We'll handle that for you and deliver your finished product.

We design for manufacturing right from the beginning, including circuit board design, schematics, firmware, algorithms, wireless, Bluetooth and more.

How do you get funding on kickstarter?

Crowd funding is a great way to get your product to market and sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo can help you do that. However, if your idea is a product then before you can ask for funding on these sites you have to have a working prototype of your product. You would have to find a designer, manufacturer and maybe a software engineer. That sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it?

That's where we can help. We can do all of that for you and more. We can create that working prototype, with your branding, that will show potential investors that you are serious and that your product is worth their time and money. We can help you get the funding you need to turn your ideas into your future. So contact us and tell us about your idea, we'll do everything else for you.

ODI, a smart investment

When you provide funding for a company you probably want that company to keep expenses under control and minimize their time to shipping product, whether that product is hardware or software. Rather than building a new team from scratch, with the expense, time, and trial and error that entails, ODI can be your product development team. We’ve been doing this for customers—startups and Fortune 500 companies—for two decades. We can handle every step from idea to shipping product, or we can pick it up from where it is at the time. When you’re ready to learn more about how ODI’s experienced, capable team can help you meet your goal, email or call Rich Slevin, rich AT odi.net or 650-318-8050 x205.
